Russia can meet global neutron research demand by mid-2020s - Likhachev MOSCOW. Feb 8 (Interfax) - Russia will be able to satisfy global demand for neutron research by the mid-2020s, head of state nuclear corporation Rosatom Alexei Likhachev said during the power start-up of the PIK research nuclear reactor at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute on Monday, in which President Vladimir Putin took part via videolink. "We have launched a unique project here. On the one hand, we seemed to have used our usual technology linked with the launching of an energy facility - the Leningrad Atomic Pow...

The search for such materials is, therefore, not a simple task. In this context, scientists have been interested in magnesium for a long time. Recently, using such techniques as positron annihilation spectroscopy, the researchers were able to demonstrate that m...
